Meadow Ridge Elementary PTO

We'd like to give a huge shout out to SEL Community—Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories for donating a giant box of supplies for our monthly Art Crew program! 🖌️🖍️🖊️ Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generosity and we can't wait to dig into these supplies when art projects begin in October! If you signed up to help in your student's Art Crew, watch for the schedule coming soon via email!

🚨 We need you! 🚨 The 📚 Book Fair next week still has LOTS of volunteer spots available for classroom shopping help, and at the 🍨 Ice Cream Social and 🍩 Donuts with Grownups events. Kindergarten and 1st grade classes particularly need more volunteers during the day to help our littlest Jaguars write their book wish lists. Can you help out?!? Sign up here 👉

We have two events that help get people to the Book Fair outside of school hours as well. Our 🍨ICE CREAM SOCIAL (Tuesday, Sept. 22 at 6:30 pm) and 🍩DONUTS WITH GROWNUPS (Friday, Sept. 25 at 8:00 am) are huge and need lots of hands to be sure they run smoothly. Short shifts ensure that you can enjoy the events with your family and help out.

PTO would love to have your business's support on spirit shirts that we provide to EVERY student and staff member. Message us if you're interested and we'll get your logo!

Reminder - Spirit Shirt art contest forms are due tomorrow morning, Friday, Sept. 11! We've seen some great entries so far! 🐾

Did you know that PTO provides a Spirit Shirt to every student and staff member at no charge?! 🙌 Reminder that Spirit Shirt student artwork contest forms are due this the morning of Friday, Sept. 11! Turn them in to teachers or the front office.

Every year, students grades 1-5 are invited to submit a drawing for the Spirit Shirt art contest. In Meadow Ridge tradition, winning artwork will be featured on this year's spirit shirt and potentially in the yearbook!

Here's a link to the PDF form if your student needs another copy! Paper copies came home in backpacks as well. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Eu2NQAocNLrGb4rCtFBjNi3hbHkVmmFo/view?usp=sharing

The Boo Hoo Breakfast on Monday for kindergarten and new Meadow Ridge families was tons of fun! Thanks to the volunteers and families who joined us! KHQ News even featured our PTO on their broadcast (still looking for that full video online 😂 )! Post your first day of school pics in the comments below!
